The so-called return hubs outside of Europe might soon become a reality. Interesting the Italy-Albania model which so far hasn’t worked at all is described as an interesting example

In 2024, we conducted 18,675 in-depth surveys through our 4Mi data collection programme along key mixed migration routes in 26 different countries, bringing the total to 150,000 since 2014. In short: all our research is based on what migrants tell us

Of course we can still use the lessons learned from the Safe Mobility Offices. Over last few months, I've had lots of discussions with European policy makers to discuss potential for replicability in the context of irregular migration to Europe, more here:

A lot of big words by European states' leaders abt going after the evil migrant smugglers. Here was a chance to actually get one, but he's been released by Italy on a technicality & apparently already on the way back to Libya on an Italian private jet

@fasterthanican @srother Striking Indeed. Time for a shake-up? As Colin and I wrote here, the Global Compact is also systematically ignored in IOMs bi-annual migration recommendations to incoming EU presidencies
